Support of Win2000 for ECC6

[Former Member]

We need to upgrade a 46C system based on WIn2000 with Oracle 920 to

ECC60.

We will reuse the same machine win 2000, so no hardware change is

planned at the moment.

We know the upgrade to ECC6 will require to upgrade to Oracle 102.

According the PAM seems that Oracle 102 is not supported on Windows

2000 but only on Windows 2003, with the recomendation to use the 64

version of it.

The server Windows 2000 in use is very powerfull, and not overloaded. The CPU in

are used at maximun 2% every days during live operations, and the memory available is very far from to be exausted.

We will not install the J2EE add-in and we will not switch to the

Unicode version of ECC6, and we will not activete the Abap VMC.

We need only to do the upgrade to ECC6 using Oracle 102 on a server using Windows 2000.

In my opinion between Windows 2003 32bit and Windows 200 there is no real difference.

I suspect the PAM for Oracle 102 contain only the Windows 2003 operating system as this is the recomended operating system.

We need to know if the Upgrade to ECC6, and the Oracle upgrade to 10g

can be done on Windows 2000 server, as this operating system is not indicated into the PAM.

Hi,

I think that there is a lot of chance that it works technically but this setup will NOT be supported by SAP as not in the PAM.

Beware of memory usage with ECC6 : 64 bit is the way to go...

The question is then : Does your company think that SAP support is mandatory ?
